we explained last week yeah explain last
week why through this extravagant party
why it was so long and why I was 180
days yeah anyone remember
anyone remember yeah each day was six of
the Sixers oh exactly right we said they
said the reason why I did it was one he
wanted to prove himself remember he said
he was he was a commoner he wanted to
prove himself he wanted to show how
great he was a powerful he was
and also he want to ensure worldwide
stability and like this country with a
bit of Anarchy yeah calling for Anarchy
and that's crazy the northern Republic
yeah so um he wants to have stability
you understand why because if you had
all the heads of state and he did this
fantastic party
so then he's going to be you know
everyone loves him everyone sees our
powerfully everyone says he greatly is
how nice he is
and he's safe okay now we say why why
the moment of the days because he wanted
to show off these treasure pieces yeah
he wanted to show off these uh treasure
things or these he inherited from from
uh from Courage from Nessa and there
were 1080
yeah pieces masterpieces exhibits and we
said that six times 180 is 1080 right
now what we didn't say last week if you
got have you got the the plastic in
front of you in perk is
um does it it's when it says
yeah
foreign
right you got the place guys
yeah you got it uh
okay
that's three words
explains those six Expressions which
we'll explain in a minute are
corresponding to the six items that he
showed every day which made up 180 days
with me now
he says that we've got two concepts over
here we have this what's called
right his monarchy and gudulato is
Loosely translated his greatness right
now
what does that mean what does that mean
so Evolution explains explains his
followers
refers to power
or right mouth yeah monarchy King
powerful King and when we say God look
that is referring to we see beauty
Glory something precious now
the the mouth Hood he explains right
we're talking about when we refer to
mouth Hood
we we talk about wealth and honor that's
why it says in the purse
the wealth and the honor of his monarchy
right the the example given that when
the God gives is let's say someone who
works you know put it into our language
in the president's office I live in such
an honor nowadays yeah but let's say
well the king there in the present
office so he he boasts right he's
working in the president's office you
understand meaning in some external you
hear what I'm saying guy the the mouth
it is all this power it's external to
the person himself and therefore we
relate things like honor wealth these
are things external to the person with
me that's why it says
the person says you know I work in the
thing for the president it's like a ego
trip thing and it's had nothing to do
with intrinsically with me you're
following me however
that's referring to the person's
intrinsic greatness as a person you
understand he's Godless we talk like a
Godly door yeah not because he's
powerful because he's a great person
intrinsically right he's a great
personage so on that we talk about your
cars which is something precious
valuable to ferret Glory you understand
that's why it refers to the car to
ferret the doulato now the
the
Mara
image
says
at this party wore the big day you've
probably heard this yeah he wore the big
day
in this party this we saw this we said
already two weeks ago right this immoral
place a moral you know physical lustful
party he wore the big day
and if you look into
it's coming up right two weeks time
it says that the big day
yeah you have the word covert and
deferent now we said kavod over here
goes with my foot and you see it's a
ferret goes with Doula right why because
the kohenga don't have both the kohenga
doll was extremely wealthy and therefore
is Kavon right even one stone on the
Hoshi mishpat the Ashford the command
says was worth how many thousands of
golden nuggets was that worth millions
you understand he represented you know
power and and control but not it was in
a positive sense right the ramayan says
is like you know just below the king in
terms of ranks you know greatness and
power the Queen that always a very
powerful figure and we say that which is
Glory the coengado was was it was he was
a great person intrinsically right or
the big dicks with the Shema Shem right
he wore the Shema Hashem he was he was
so kadoshi Kardashian with me and he
came along
as it were you understand that he was
you know in in obviously in a physical
sense that's what he was representing
right his Doula and his kavod he was
saying look at me you know I mean I'm a
great person I'm a powerful person I'm
everything with me that's all in this
Pursuit that's the way God explains it
it's beautiful now but don't you have to
learn it now because if you think about
it too much in the beginning
yeah because he's just going through
going through again how it all fits it
and then he's gone three percent in my
head okay now
let's read the next peeps okay and we'll
see what we manage I think we started
late now yeah
and when these days finished
when these days finished it's 180 days
yeah it's going straight it's a few
months then the king made for all the
people that were found in shushanabira
from this the largest literally
translated to the smallest the greatest
the least the lowest
ministers a week a week party
in the courtyard of the bitan okay now
who's
the lovely boots
which is different colors yeah of of
Russia explains of cloth of fine yeah
fine um what's available for cloth
Fabrics yeah very fine Fabrics explain
the colors you know turquoise this
which were tied on with
um strings of again augmented type of
deep blue turquoise boots are Galilei
kessef
of silver right
um or
yeah sorry Lily case it means the the
base was silver and the amudesh means
they were marble pillars
mitochev there were beds with solid gold
and silver alright sparked
on a floor which was Laden with four
different types of stone in the film
this was the courtyard yeah now
and the drink was given in Golden
vessels with different types of vessels
Royal Wine RAV plenty of it
you know in a great way
and the drink was given according to the
law no one was forced he came in
Southern America that what the king
ordered on everyone that I saw on the
Ravi told me you know his people worked
the the servants
to do the will of every person okay now
that's a translation
now we've got three main questions over
here yeah three main questions and we're
gonna first say the questions then we're
going to go through the suck him yeah
just dissect lips okay now we did in
everything other showrooms with me you
know I mean go to the sukum and the
yukim ETC and then come back to answer
those three questions which I do not
think is going to happen now yeah
because of the the start on the door
problem but anyway the three main
questions like this one is why did you
throw this extra party
what's this another another week a party
that was going on over here
no
second of all why did the pasok I mean
you're saying this is specifically
because we're basing ourselves when
we're going to go on and say every
person is coming to teach you something
what do we need to know I mean all this
this whole thing over here
how you know the golden beds and how the
drapes were you know what I mean and the
Beautiful Fabrics Nissan and the floor
tilings what do I care are very nice you
know what I'm saying but it's not like
some novel do you understand this is a
Magilla yeah it's from the ketova means
but it said number two
and also we said you know everywhere at
least every person every couple of two
can put together the village says we see
this at Hashem these hidden Miracles
going on what's the hidden Miracle
through a party very fancy tons of booze
yeah and everyone's happy
where's the miracle you understand
nothing seems like it could be anywhere
you know some people describing you know
I mean you know I'm saying uh I was
saying Trump's you know party with the
what's his name anyway so so now let's
go to him yeah
hey
right the pursuit says
the first question is what does that
means
why did it have to say
who were found in
the past the word is like redundant
secondly this is a question of the Yosef
lekka which is at the perus is heavily
based upon very similar picture
he asked why do you say me got those at
Qatar in ubsuki when he talks about from
the smallest to the biggest it says
right for example he quotes in in with a
lot when it says
um when the the malachim came right all
the people came banging his door down
remember a few weeks ago months ago oh
they came when they found he had guests
they were all banging the door down the
person says
meaning from you know the children even
the kids the whole Sedona was bashing
the daughter and he brings Adam we
always talk about from the smallest to
the the biggest right so why here is
flipped over
also
um what does it mean
what's this what we're referring to
there
now
um
yeah now
so the first thing is the villagon
explains
the reason why it says
is because as it were not as it were
an outsider
remember we said he moved all the
government buildings from bovill to
shushan so it wasn't as if he was there
the king
excuse me and you know he invited
everyone where he's been for the last
you know decade 20 years that's this is
a capital city right and he threw a
party for everyone in the capital city
he just moved in with me and built this
whole royal compound so he wrote
who were found meaning they were the
people that were there when when he came
he with me that's what it says
he says a very nice
a very nice shot
he says whenever we talk about in the
other took him they say with lot right
from the we say from the smallest to the
the largest the youngest the oldest
whatever it is
we're trying to uh explain that everyone
was equal
in a certain aspect in terms of a lot
even from the kids till the adults right
they were all the same banging the door
down you're following me right they were
all there banging the door down in the
same thing
however over here the the idea was not
that everyone was the same right this
was not communism yeah this was being
very Democratic because not necessarily
mean in terms of age right rather than
means in terms of of uh status
and he was saying from the the you know
the people you know the high status to
low lives yeah they were all they were
all treated in the way they wanted to be
treated you understand I'm not trying to
say they were all the same rather each
one was treated
you know the educated uh rich guy right
yeah yeah it was it you know in on his
level the low life was spoken to and
cheetah in his level with me it wasn't
trying to make everyone equal they
weren't equal they know they weren't
equal do you understand but he was
relating to everyone in their way with
me which which follows him and Andrew
said the last thing we read he wanted to
keep everyone happy because you follow
me that was the idea okay
foreign
which was this like you know this uh
smaller Palace as it were there we go
there's smaller Palace yeah
um which was there uh for the king's
pleasure and in front of that Palace he
had a large Courtyard he had the gardens
and all the rest of the guns and
exquisite Gardens and this party took
place in
okay it took place yeah it was in the
courtyard in front of this thing now
what was what we need to have as a
courtyard and Carol of it I never
started you're okay
yeah
so we'll say he says we'll just say this
piece now and in that courtyard if you
go to end the pursuit valve it says the
Edward spots
now I have managed to find out the exact
translation all these precious like type
Stones yeah but the villagon explains
that there were four
completely different type of precious
stones Marble Court whatever is that you
know there's different types of stones
according to the words in English now
quotes I mean marbles it's like very
nice terms and there were rows of these
this was the the the the courtyard this
is the outside Courtyard but not about
inside the padders just the courtyard
had these you know these rows of each
one four different rows of these
beautiful precious floor tiles because
it's like solid Stone do you understand
to understand imagine it was like inside
the patterns to understand the the
lavishness of what was going on
okay now we're gonna probably have to
stop here because I think you mean the
they start admire
meets Hashem next week we're gonna
explain
we're going to explain myself why we
need to know all this lavishness what's
going on over here and where the hidden
miracle was
